Implementing the Framework for Teaching in Enhancing Professional Practice: An ASCD Action Tool

"Implementing the Framework for Teaching in Enhancing Professional Practice" is a comprehensive resource for those who wish to align their professional practice, or assessment of practice instruments, to a well-respected framework describing professional effectiveness. Particularly helpful is the quality rubric provided, which gives clear descriptors and distinctions of levels of performance. I can see this being a really useful resource for the individual teacher who is going to be evaluated via Danielson, but personally found most informative the consistent distinction between the "proficient" and "distinguished" categories. This emphasis was particularly helpful for my needs as an administrator, who is working on revising my university's teacher candidate evaluation system.Everyone seems to be jumping on board with Danielson's model, and this book will help to facilitate making those changes for personally, or for your school district or university. Amazon offered the book at a competitive price, and delivered it in a timely manner.

This is a helpful resource tool for people who are self identified educators and for people who work giving seminars, workshops, etc. whether they're working with any age group. The information is transferable and adaptable. It's a great tool to use to gauge the effectiveness of one's professional learning work.

Danielson's work is now our guide for enhancing professional practice in our state.Her rubric is every teacher's foundation for his/her classroom practice. This book is an excellent guide for a book study and would help any teacher develop better professional practice. Every principal needs to get this book and use it with his/her staff. As a Content Coach, I use the rubric as I visit classrooms in my Network. I recommend it highly!

This book has great information for teachers. Planning and preparing for the classroom experience. (Lesson planning,etc))

A great resource!

I would recommend this book for anyone who is using Charlotte Danielson for their portfolios of observations. The format is very clear and there are many useful examples.

Great book!

This is a great resource for the evaluation and reflection process. Have referred teachers to the sample surveys, etc. in the book.
